Contents Welcome to the June / July Issue It’s back and so am I! Yes, after stepping aside from editing for more than 2 years, I am back in the driving seat. I hope you enjoy your new, shiny, redesigned About Rathfarnham. I have really missed editing the magazine and hearing from you. As ever, the issue is packed with great features, supported by lots of excellent local trades and businesses, with a peppering of local news and events. There’s a super ‘Buy a Handbag’ event in the Ballyroan Resource Centre on 22 June, to support two local charities – go grab a bargain and support a local cause. We are building up our Facebook page (About Magazines Dublin), so do visit it and like us. We want to build it up to keep you up-to-date with local news and events taking place in between issues. We will also ‘like’ any local business or charity who’ likes’ us, so we can continue to support local business and activities. If you fancy lunch in Mao’s followed by a show in the Mill Theatre, enter our fabulous competition on page 18. The winning entry will be published, so get creative with your Limericks! Remember, I love to hear your news and all about local achievements, so email me or call me! Finally, remember to support the local businesses advertising with us. They are all part of the local community and without them there would be no magazine. Enjoy the summer!

Calendar Girls Grin and Bare it at the Mill Theatre If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard – ‘Calendar Girls? What a brave choice!’ ….. It has a certain risqué reputation but it’s really a play with an engaging, heart-warming story and some really good one-liners. Adapted by Tim Firth from the screenplay of the Miramax film, it takes to the Mill Theatre stage in late June. And, yes, it is that Calendar Girls, based on a true story, in which ordinary women opt to bare all, and pose for a calendar to raise funds in memory of a friend’s husband who dies of leukaemia. These women are all members of a village Women’s Institute in the Yorkshire Dales and takes place in the local Church Hall. The 14 intrepid women in our version all come from the Dundrum area and its environs with cast members from Balally Players, Glencullen MDS , Sandyford, Rathfarnham T.G. and Square One. This is nudity guaranteed to make you smile instead of smirk, while they grin and bare (sic) it and prepare for the challenge. Anne Mekitarian - Director

Bring me Sunshine Katherine Sorrell looks at what you should consider when planning to build a conservatory. Kit or bespoke? Kits tend to be cheap and DIY-friendly, as most of the parts (usually a PVCu frame and polycarbonate roofing) are pre-cut and predrilled ready for installation. Bespoke designs will cost more, but you’ll have something tailored to your individual requirements. Size, sitting and aspect For a useable room allow at least 8-10 metres of floor area and consider how the space will complement your property and garden. How will your conservatory adjoin the house? Is there a large enough exterior wall, and will you have to avoid obstructions such as trees or outbuildings? Try to place it facing east or west, as north-facing conservatories tend to be cold, while south-facing ones can overheat. Walls and frames Traditionally, conservatories are built onto a 600mm high ‘dwarf’ wall made of brick or stone, walls or install under-floor heating, either warm-water to match or complement your house.

The Longest Holiday Most of us shy away from considering our later years and what they might bring. There may be the joy of watching our family grow and develop with grandchildren, great nephews and nieces, but understandably we do not like the idea of becoming incapacitated. However, we should start thinking about what can be termed as the “longest holiday” of our lives sooner rather than later, as it is now clear that the government will not be funding the ongoing costs of any care that might be required. According to statistics from the Central Statistics Office, up to 25% of Ireland’s population will be over the age of 65 by 2041. According to its population and labour force projections for 2011-2041, there will be between 1.3 and 1.4 million people over the age of 65 by 2041, compared to just 460,000 in 2006. The number of people over the age of 80 is projected to quadruple, from 110,000 in 2006 to 440,000 in 2041. Action Age say that the cost of a private nursing home is around €1,245 and cost of a public nursing home is around €876 per week.

Make the Most of Your Make-Up How can I ensure the best finish and coverage from my foundation? Liquid foundations work best for most people because you can apply as much of it or as little of it as you like. Your foundation will work best and last longer - if it’s applied to primed skin. Always ensure that you cleanse, tone and moisturise your face first and then apply a primer to create the ideal base. Using a damp make-up sponge, evenly apply your foundation to your skin, paying particular attention to blending well over your jaw line.
I’m never sure what colour of blusher to choose or where to apply it. Do you have any tips for making When I use concealer under my eyes to cover dark sure I get it right? circles I seem to draw attention to my fine lines. Do you have any tips to stop this? A lot of blushers can look very unnatural and harsh, so it’s very important to choose the right colour. Avoid Always ensure that your eye area is well moisturised bright pinks and reds or any other loud hue and instead before you apply your concealer. Use an eye cream both select more neutral shades in peachy, soft pink tones. in the morning and at night and choose a concealer Keep that in mind when applying your cosmetics and that has a very creamy texture. ensure you always aim to create a natural look.

What should I do to avoid this? Bronzers are often very dark in colour and can look incredibly unnatural, especially on fair or ivory skin tones. Try using a bronze coloured pressed powder instead - the colour will be far more natural and you can build up both colour and coverage until you obtain the look you want.

A great way to create a bright, wide-eyed look is to line the inner rim of your eyes with a good quality white eyeliner pencil. This will help to immediately brighten up the eyes and draw attention to them, making them appear bigger. It will really enhance the colour of your eyes too. Eyelash curlers are an essential tool for creating this sort of look. Curl your lashes, then apply a few coats of mascara to set them in place. Image: Courtesy of Clinique

Local
By Rory O’Donovan
Highlighting Ballyroan Library: ‘An Architectural Tour de Force in the Suburbs’ The invitation to review a new public library in Dublin awakened some of my oldest and most pleasant childhood memories. The local public library of my Dublin childhood was (and still is) a rather prim neoGeorgian building with a civic air that could easily be in a provincial English town. Today most modern architecture can pretty easily achieve a “well-tempered environment”. And we can reasonably expect a modern library to be well-lit, airy, well-heated. Yet one of the first images I was shown of the new public library at Ballyroan by Gary Mongey (box architecture) unsettled me slightly. Not that I expected a space with neo-Georgian proportions or an open fireplace but the deep concrete beams spanning considerable distances seemed to imply a mono-functional, hall-like space that could, differently fitted out, just as easily be a supermarket and this in turn awakened very different

associations, in terms of light, warmth, and sound. But on entering the building I immediately realised how wrong I was. The reading room in Mongey’s Ballyroan library is indeed a long, broad space with the proportions of a large, flexible hall, but the handling of materials and, perhaps in particular, light shows a rare and truly architectural sensitivity. Concerns about the lack of more intimate spaces for small children were quickly
r
Local dispelled, there is a separable children’s area at one end of the reading room, while the bay windows or pods lined in birch plywood that structure the outer long wall of the space offer ideal niches for kids to crowd together and share what they have found in the books. Outside the building, benches with slatted seats placed opposite these “pods” take up the internal rhythm and establish a dialogue with the suburban setting. Narrower pods on the short end of the space receive a more contemplative light from above, making them ideal for individual readers. Throughout the reading room, the staggered pattern of roof lights with a glass lining in the opes provides calm, even daylight. The reading room is entered from a flanking, two-storey tapering hall that connects entrances at either end and is something of an architectural tour de force. This outer side of the internal street – maybe “street” is too suggestive of commerce and concourse would be better – is two-storey and wood wrapped and a reference and research library on the upper floor communicates through internal windows and wooden flaps with the concourse and indirectly with the reading room. A truly public space, where nothing must be consumed (except perhaps knowledge) and which emanates an unexpected grandeur.
Ballyroan library forms part of a group of buildings that endeavours to give this area a hub, a community. Mongey has adapted the community centre, built a new pastoral centre and the library. Between the latter two buildings he has made a paved space planted with trees, now used mostly for parking, but in autumn it hosts a harvest festival. The exteriors are low key, distinctly civic in contrast to the essentially private suburban idiom of render, brickwork and tiling used in surrounding houses. The new buildings suggest coming together, a meeting place; surely something much needed and appreciated in this and other similar neighbourhoods. These days, references to Ireland’s economic difficulties probably raise at best a weary groan but perhaps in financially difficult times public facilities such as this library (which offers an impressive range of services) are particularly needed and appreciated. Dublin has every reason to be proud of such libraries and box architecture can be equally proud of having created an urban centre and a sheltered, calm, welcoming reading space with a public concourse that conveys a true civic dignity. This is an extract from the article which was first published in Architecture Ireland, the official journal of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
